Rap Music Chart

Rap Chart - Beats, rhymes and nothing else - 20 rap songs to get your head-nodding. Created by combining how many times the song has been played with your ratings, DJBooth's charts help turn today's brand new music into tomorrow's hit records.

Welcome to the Booth’s Top Rap Chart! As always, your feedback has determined which songs made the cut. Each chart’s lineup is calculated using a special DJBooth.net Formula that takes into account member ratings and reviews as well as features’ overall popularity.

With Drizzy‘s “9AM in Dallas” enjoying a spot amongst our Top Picks, Eminem and Birdman take first and second with “Session One” and “Loyalty.” The former #2 pick, Game‘s “We Do It B.I.G.,” drops to third. Also making their debut this go-round, Twista‘s “I Do,” Cali Swag District‘s “Teach Me How to Dougie (Remix),” J. Cole‘s “The Last Stretch (Freestyle)” and Cam’ron & Vado‘s “Rubberband Stacks” land in fourth, 10th, 15th and 20th. Down from last week’s Top Hip Hop and R&B lineup, T.I.‘s “Got Your Back,” B.o.B‘s “Airplanes” and Big Boi‘s “General Patton” fall to #8, #12 and #20. No longer in the running are tracks by The Roots (“Doin It Again”), Flo Rida (“Fresh I Stay”), Big Sean (“High Rise”), Ace Hood (“Life Style”), Bun B (“Just Like That”), Fat Joe (“If It Ain’t About Money”) and Plies (“She Got It Made”).

If there’s anything that Cash Money is known for, it’s a sense of Loyalty and family values. Apart from the Juve-B.G.-Mannie Fresh fiasco, CM has stuck behind their artists. Although the Hot Boys fell apart, don’t...Read More

The heat index was about 104 when I was working outside today, so I can only imagine that if I heard this hip-hop fire while I was working I’d be passed out on the side of the road somewhere. While his anticipated new...Read More

The mixtape messiah Chamillionare is back and looking to build some hype for his upcoming third studio album Venom. With the help of Lloyd and Twista, Cham hopes to pick up where he left off after the semi-success of his...Read More

Like seemingly everyone, I’ve been enjoying the Clifford Harris comeback tour so far. I’m Back was a banger, Yeah Ya Know was a banger; it appeared that T.I. was dead set on proving he was still vicious on the mic and in...Read More

To say that Big Boi's been doing big things in the Booth lately would be a massive understatement – in fact, anticipation has been running so high for the Outkast member's forthcoming solo set that we've decided to stop...Read More

Everyone knows that shooting stars are an ideal medium for wishing, but what if you've got a wish so urgent you can't simply stand around, waiting for a comet to cross the sky? On yet another single off his long-awaited debut...Read More

Yesterday, Nappy Boy girl group Sophia Fresh stepped into the Booth with This Instant, a track set for inclusion on the Step Up 3-D soundtrack. If that exuberant cut was the musical equivalent of downing a dozen Pixy Stix,...Read More

It’s been over a year since we last heard a solo feature from Bow Wow (2009’s You Can Get It All), and in that time his biggest publicity has come from an at least tangential connection to some Kat Stacks craziness (never...Read More

Growing up on the east coast, I’ve always enjoyed the dopely eclectic work Atlanta has been putting out for over a decade now (it’s hard to imagine another place where artists like Ludacris, Cee-Lo, and Outkast could come...Read More

In truth, there’s only one man powerful enough to have the hip-hop interwebs explode to the degree it has over the past few hours, and his name is Drake. Given the reaction to the release of the young phenom’s new single...Read More

If you’ve been binging on the World Cup this past week like a Lindsay Lohan at an open bar and are a little tired of listening to Shakira sing, The Roots are here to kick off your week with some freshness. Their latest...Read More

Tis the season of miracles, and the holidays have come early this year in the form of a track off Lil Wayne’s ill-fated, quasi-rock album Rebirth that miraculously doesn’t completely suck. As opposed to On Fire (bad) and...Read More

Have you ever seen a TV show’s title and been confused about its theme? Well if Ludacris’ latest album was playing on television, it’d be pretty hard to get it twisted. Battle of the Sexes isn’t the cheesy MTV show...Read More

Asher Roth came on the scene about as far from a serious rapper as you could get. With songs about partying and college life, a lot of true hip-hop fans may have been turned off by any new Roth tracks before they even gave...Read More

Yesterday, Left Coast buzzmaker Nipsey Hussle and his Slauson Boyz taught us a thing or two about Stayin Alive in the treacherous inner-city streets. Of course, those who want to not only survive but thrive in the game need...Read More
